Nokia Siemens to expand Telenor’s network

.
Telenor Pakistan has awarded Nokia Siemens Networks a contract to undertake network expansion over a period of five years.

This will enable the service provider to reach out to new subscribers, improve customer experience and introduce additional feature-rich services quickly and cost-effectively.

Under this turnkey contract, Nokia Siemens Networks will undertake site acquisition, construction, network implementation, logistics and project management.

Telenor Pakistan Corporate Affairs Executive Vice President, Irfan Wahab on the occasion stated, “Mobile space in Pakistan is intensely competitive and the low average revenue per user (ARPU) levels combined with acute power shortages add to the challenge. As we started planning for our future growth, we aim to choose our technology infrastructure and solution partner, carefully,” he added.

CTO appointed: In a separate announcement, Telenor Pakistan said it has appointed Khalid Shehzad as Chief Technology Officer.

Formerly, Khalid was heading IT division of the company as Chief Information Officer (CIO). Atiq Ahmed, Director Operations & Maintenance, Technical Division, is taking up an expanded role as Deputy CTO.

The changes in higher management were announced by Telenor Pakistan CEO Jon Eddy Abdullah at the company’s headquarters in Islamabad. The new positions were introduced in the wake of recent merger of Technical and IT divisions in the company.
